His lyrics can be violent, degrading to women, bash homosexuality, and even advocate rape and murder You might question his sanity at some points but they’re brilliant nonetheless.įor instance, the first track in The Marshall Mathers LP, “ Kill You- Eminem“, he raps about raping his mother, doing drugs and killing a man with a chainsaw. He doesn’t care if you think he’s a rage-filled, homicidal, drug addict that’s for you to determine. It’s hard to differentiate between truth and fiction in Eminem’s lyrics but that is just who he is. Marshall Mathers has the skill and potential to turn any beat into musical genius. This white-trash rapper from Detroit made his way towards greatness with his innovative individual style of rap. Eminem’s mixture of vulgar humor and horrific fantasies come together to make some of the most quotable lyrics since The Notorious B.I.G. The Marshall Mathers LP is one of Eminem’s greatest albums.
